How do scientists study narwhals?

Answer 1

Written records, underwater scientific equipment, relics and fossils, observation, and interviews are ways in which scientists study Narwhals. Interviews tend to be of the native peoples of the Canadian and Russian Arctic and of Greenland. For example, the Inuit are traditional hunters of the narwhal. They hunt and harvest just what they need to support their own population and to keep the narwhal population in balance. So they are astute observers of narwhal behaviors and locations.

Answer 2

Scientists study narwhals by using a variety of methods, such as satellite tagging to track their movements, DNA analysis to understand genetic relationships, and acoustic monitoring to study communication patterns. They also use drones and underwater cameras to observe narwhals in their natural habitat and gather data on behaviors and feeding habits. Additionally, researchers may conduct aerial surveys to estimate population sizes and distribution of narwhals.
